Original letter forms are preserved in the published facsimile. The reading follows Drewes’s later edition.

02 · Translation

The personal name Tomas.

Project English gloss after Abraham J. Drewes, RIÉ III.B (2019), printed p. 433; uncertainty follows Drewes's record-level discussion.

Probably the same name as RIÉ 404; the similar floral decoration may indicate the same person.
